Simple Tricks & Nonsense — EDU

Simple Tricks & Nonsense EDU provides structured, hands-on instruction for beginners, emerging artists, and working professionals focused on mastering the tools used in contemporary visual media. Whether creating cinematic moving pictures, sequential comic art, or standalone digital artwork, the program emphasizes practical skills that translate across creative disciplines.

Led by a working VFX supervisor and digital artist with 30 years of professional experience, the curriculum is grounded in real production workflows and production-tested techniques. Instruction covers image construction, compositing fundamentals, editing workflows, visual problem-solving, and foundational 3D graphics concepts, using a wide array of industry-standard creative tools and software.

While specific tools may vary, instruction commonly includes platforms such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Foundry Nuke, and modern 3D graphics applications, with an emphasis on transferable skills rather than software-specific shortcuts.

A core focus of the program is helping artists apply these techniques directly to their own projects, with guided instruction, practical feedback, and workflow guidance tailored to individual goals and skill levels.

Instruction is delivered entirely online through guided tutorials, demonstrations, breakdowns, and project-based exercises. The program serves beginners, students, artists, and professionals, with content updated regularly as tools and workflows evolve.
